Common Anglicized Portuguese surnames.

[Damião de Góis]

That's weird, in here there are many hispanized last names, like these samples:

Goodman -> Guzman
Evans -> Ibañez
Blumen -> Flores

It's not strange that people change their surnames in america, for a better integration. I mean, if people emigrate they must adapt to their new country.

My Italian surname kept the origibal 'gn' instead of changing it to the Portuguese equivalent 'nh'.

What is the surname?

I can't think of any Italian names that have a direct Portuguese equivalent by changing the middle letters. Montagna maybe is the only surname I can think of that you could probably change in that way.

Not actually. São Paulo has strong Italian influences, many places here have Italiana names with the originial writing preserved, so this is not a problem.

No, my surname doesn't have a Portuguese equivalent. What I was saying is that the Italian 'gn' has the same sound as the Portuguese 'nh'. So Italian words like Montagna, Bologna or Gnocchi, in Portuguese would be Montanha, Bolonha and Nhóque. It didn't happen with my surname, it kept the 'gn'.

My surname is not really one you can anglicized.
